Zohreh Davoudi: Are we living in a simulation?

All life on Earth— living and inanimate, microscopic and cosmic— is governed by mathematical laws with apparently arbitrary constants. And this opens up a question: If the universe is completely governed by these laws, couldn't a powerful enough computer simulate it exactly? Could our reality actually be a detailed simulation set in place by a more advanced civilization? Zohreh Davoudi investigates. [Directed by Eoin Duffy, narrated by Christina Greer, music by QB Sound].
